Jeff Osborne rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This unique "kiln Dried" (partially dehydrated grapes) wine is quite rich is both aromas and flavors. Rich scents and flavors of Cooked plum, blackberry jam, and a hint of pepper and spice. This wine is a local favorite in the Niagara region and a personal favorite when I'm in the area.
Enjoy with most hard cheeses, Mac & Cheese, Duck, or lean beef.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
